Yes, I recall getting an upgrade offer in email for one of my BKK - CCU flights some weeks back.. Also posted it here.
Offer was something like THB 4500 for BKK - CCU leg from Y --> J.

Am also offered this opportunity many times when I ask for the loads during checkin.. but I usually ask to know about op-up not buying upgrade possibilities ;)

i tried checking on a reservation i have where one sector of mine can be upgraded to premiere....could not see any option for upgrading the booking

I have not seen it online in the Jet site.. I received a mail with some link to upgrade ..

sounds good but i hope this is not one of their mystery offers where no one can find a flight to upgrade on....just like their mystery inr 2,500 discount scheme....

unfortunately (or fortunately) all my currently booked jet flights are either on première or first so i won't be able to check since i can't upgrade any further....

Keyser for a small upgrade fee, they may let you fly the plane as well. so UG possibilities exist ;)

I wish we had this situation ;)

if that were to happen then i'm sure the passengers would be paying me a huge downgrade fee so as to not put their lives in danger....:p

I have a current booking for my parents.. tried the manage booking.. but couldn't find an upgrade button anywhere.. may be because it's a reward ticket booking.. they are not even letting me check in for them.. stupid Jet..

Have you ever got an op-up with Jet..??? I have never ever heard of anyone getting an op-up with Jet.. like never.. the only time I came close to experiencing it was when I was booked CCU-BKK for my honeymoon and I got an upgrade through vouchers, and the check in agent told me, he is doing it without the voucher itself.. that's one time in a decade of flying..

I've gotten 4 op-ups in my 3 years of flying with them with elite status.. All domestic sectors cause Y cabin was overbooked.

i got one on the way back from kuwait recently. too bad there was not even PTV in the 900ER they used on the route. In the past, i think one time on BRU as well, but other times usually via vouchers.

i've gotten quite a few back in the day including one from première to first in 2008....but just one over the last couple of years....

I guess mostly it is the plat's who get it.. i traveled with them extensively in 2005- 2007 and then in 2009-2010.. though somehow I never managed to hit as much as the Silver status, due to my erratic schedule, but then too never got any op up.. infact one time, in not so distant past (read May 2012), I had to sit down and explain the check in agent how a voucher works, for me to get an upgrade..!!!

This year, have been flying CCU - BKK - CCU sector a lot ( already more than 20 round trips ).. this sector is full of traders / courier traffic and many of the flights are full in Y..I have got up-up's IIRC 7-8 times in ~ 40 flights in this route as of now..
Though I am only still a Gold, ( started this year with a Blue Plus), I guess I was given upgrades because all ( 99%) of other pax were traders who fly 2-3 round trips a week and are hence ofcourse Plat but the staff would rather take vouchers from them than give them Op-ups :)..
Once when travelling with family, I gave them 1 voucher and then upgraded both of us , so that was good too..

Guess CCU BKK CCU sector is a different story altogether..

on a side subject, can someone tell me, that if I book a ticket through Jet Miles and later cancel the ticket, what is the charge for it ? do they refund the miles with some minimum charge, or is the entire miles down the drain ? and do they charge something in cash also ?

Yup , this sector and I believe also MAA - CCU - MAA sector ( which TG flies) is totally different that any other intl sectors IME..

I'm still wondering what class it books into...

whats the rooute -- GOA to BLR ?5k seems expensive as BKK - CCU charges 4.5k

Yup Goa-Blore.. Y tickets are priced at 4k one way so add 5k to that and it works out to 9k which is pretty the standard J pricing.

Stupid expensive. I would've taken it if it was 2-2.5k. Maybe I'll go to the CI counter tomorrow and try to negotiate :P

I'm still wondering what class it books into...

the MRS availed of this last week on BLR-DEL.. she was asked for 4K and got booked in P

Yes they do.

I received an email from them a day prior to my KWI-BOM flight offering an upgrade of USD 150.

But the link didn't work properly.

I showed the email at the counter, paid the USD150, and got on Premiere.

But I didn't get the cabin bonus miles. Am I supposed to?

I'm still wondering what class it books into...
Paid 2k for a HYD-BOM flight.. Got booked into D. Great VFM imho.


But I didn't get the cabin bonus miles. Am I supposed to?
Nope.. You will only get miles as per original class of booking..

I'm flying DAC-CCU today. I was emailed a few times regarding paying for an upgrade. I was offered a price of BDT 13,000 to upgrade. My original ticket was BDT 8,000, or at the time, only BDP 15,000 for Premiere. Ridiculous pricing, especialy on a 30 minunte flight.
